The Samsung T260HD performs very well as both a monitor and as a television, which is not something many other combination monitors have been able to manage. There are a few drawbacks, such as not having the picture within a picture feature and the fact that you have to buy an extra kit to mount the monitor on the wall, but overall the monitor produces high quality images and offers you versatility that is almost unparalleled.

Don't buy this TV unless you intend to use a separate sound system.

I bought this TV a few days ago on AMAZON. Amazon offered a great price and a very fast delivery. The TV looks great and delivers a wonderful picture. The sound is the worst of any TV I owned. The speakers point downward and sound as though they were pulled off a $10 clock radio. I am disappointed enough with the lacking sound quality that I wil return the TV to AMAZON. Comment Read more

My first Samsung LCD monitor, the 17" 170S is now in its 9th year and has only a couple of bad pixels. The three year warranty on the new HD260 and an 1080P tuner are just a bonus. A very good value for the money. I had the new HD260 since October of 2008 and it works great! Read more

The Samsung T260 HDTV is a computer monitor, it has a DVI connector, and 2 HDMI connectors, plus a standard analog VGA connector. This is a 25.5" (not a 26" as the model number could make you think) TN display LCD monitor. It has built in sound capability (sound can be input by both a sound card or via HDMI cable). As a computer display this is a wonderful device, it is brilliant, and after ordering my 2nd unit, I have yet to get one with a bad pixel. The screen is... Read more

This review is from: Samsung T260HD 26-inch Widescreen 5ms Gloss Black LCD TV/Monitor (Electronics) Just a quick note to say this is a lovely monitor/TV, but if you're planning on hanging it on a wall you can't without an adapter as there are no mounting holes (of any kind) for a standard VESA wall bracket (or any other bracket for that matter). Samsung make a speacial little adapter that replaces the desk stand with a mount that has a VESA100x100 plate on the back. It's... Read more
Great monitor, untested as a TV

So I don't have much to add to what other reviewers said. I am a student who wanted a bigger monitor (one I could sit a bit away from the desk) that would work well for work and videos at a decent price. I just got the monitor a few days ago and I will say I am satisfied. Super easy to setup and install. Plug and play and just used the remote to setup the colors etc. how I wanted them. Through the standard DVI hook up, the color and resolution are great both for text and... Read more
